Constantine

Based on the wildly popular comic book series "Hellblazer" from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine specializes in giving hell... hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight - or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to leave his do-gooder life behind. But when demons target Liv, the daughter of one of Constantine's oldest friends, he's reluctantly thrust back into the fray - and he'll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it's revealed that Liv's "second sight," an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences, is a threat to a mysterious new evil that's rising in the shadows. And now it's not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world - and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows... maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.

It looks like Constantine is staying cancelled. The low-rated NBC series was officially dropped by the network last month but the studio, Warner Bros. TV, kept hope alive by shopping season two to other channels. Constantine showrunner Daniel Cerone had said that the casts and writer contracts would run out this month and now, Cerone says that all options have been exhausted.

I think the first episode of Constantine works best as a regular episode of the series pilot, which is what it is. I'm waiting to see how they evolve the first chapters of the season to decide, because from what we have seen so far we can not have strong views on what the new NBC series we will offer.
